To answer my own question, I began lurking on TK in 2004 when I got engaged. I was a regular on TB and TN under another name from 2007ish on. I left for an off board with a group from TB in 2012ish.
On TK since 2003, TN since about whenever it started (2005-ish?), TB since I got pregnant with #2 in 2011 (I think the baby boards were still part of TN when I had #1 in 2007, or else there was TB but it just had tri boards and not BMBs). So I've been here, wherever here is, a long time, but on and off. I need breaks.
ETA: the Nest, contrary to my own narcissistic memory, may have existed before I got married in 2004. I didn't hang out there until I was married, but I remember it being fairly new.

I've been on the bump since I found out I was pregnant. Before the pee was even dry I started downloading pregnancy apps on my phone, I was one of the newbs thinking this was just an app on my phone. I've never been on the knot or the nest, not even to lurk.
TK since 2007 under a different name then lurked here (TTC, TTTC, adoption, PAIF/SAIF, and birth stories) since our wedding sept 2012

I had been on the websites since 2011 but I had no interest in sharing opinions over how my husband and I wanted our wedding or what my living room should look like, so I had only started using the forums when I found out I was pregnant a month ago! Caring for a child is totally different ball park!
TK with my FIRST marriage in 2005, . TB with DD in 2010 but really just stuck to cloth diapering until a FB group was created. Back around here with this one with a new, more anonymous name.
ETA I did a short nest stint with my local board when I moved here but it was just as they were moving to FB. I'm very active in that.
Started on TK in 2008, TN shortly after my anniversary board was moved there in 2009. The Bump I lurked when I was pregnant with DD 4 years ago. Never really participated until this pregnancy though.
I was introduced to TB in 2008 when I got pregnant, but lost the baby (my 2nd m/c). I came back when I got pregnant with my daughter in 2009 and also joined TK when I got engaged that year. I was 19 and fucking stupid as all get out. And very sensitive and dramatic and embarrassing. I didn't know how to handle the interwebz... Lots of flaming my way back in the day. Lol. And I totally deserved it. I'm so ashamed of how I was I don't even want to admit what my SN was then because I'm pretty sure EVERYONE on TB/TK/etc would recognize me to this day... :-S
Anyways I somehow managed to make e-friends and left with an off board around 2012. I'd come back and randomly lurk, but this is the first time I'm fully active again. And I lurve you haggard troll bitches.
I joined TK in 2009. I posted on the message boards once about a wedding question and was flamed. I didn't hang out (and FWIW I ignored their advice and I was totally in the right).
I joined TB in 2012 with my first pg and have been here since, mostly on the TTCAL board.
Ok I'm nosy. What were they wrong about??
I guess I joined the bump with our first or second but didn't post. I joined the knot in early 2013 when we finally got engaged and wandered over to you guys a couple months ago. The knot prepared me for the snark so I was ready and willing when I came here

Secrets make baby Jesus cry. I need to know who you were! (If I flamed you, sorry boo)
I joined TK in 2007 when I got engaged. Stayed active through 2009. I joined TB in 2011 and was active with my BMB even though it eventually moves off to FB
I began lurking TK when I got engaged in 2010. I became a regular on TB when I got KU around November 2011. So I have been a regular poster on TB for over 3 years. Crazy.
I joined The Knot in 2007, got married in 2008. I never posted much in The Knot forums. I got pregnant a few months after the wedding, so I bypassed The Nest and went straight to The Bump. DS was born in July 2008. I lurked on the parenting boards, but ended up leaving for a private group. Came back about a month ago when I got my bfp.
I met some amazing ladies back in 2007/2008. I'm still in touch with most of them
I've often wondered if anyone on this board was around back in the good ol' days...
I started with TK back in 2007 planning my first wedding... migrated to TB in October 2008. Then I left with the mass exodus around 2009 when TB changed formats.
I got divorced in 2010 and came back to TK when I was planning my second wedding (2012). Pretty much skipped over TN and came to TB in Feb when we were planning on starting TTC.

I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
Joined the knot in 2012 when I got engaged. I was also flamed out of the message boards because I eloped and then had a wedding ceremony and party a few months later since H was deploying a week or two after the ceremony/party and we wanted to get all the insurance and paperwork in order. (Just to mention, I had my own insurance at the time and didn't affect his pay as a reservist so contrary to the belief of the board it wasn't for benefit or money grubbing reasons and my family could not have cared less).
Anyway I joined the bump after I found out I was pregnant. I like it here. I enjoy the snark and have gotten some great support.
@cwbandthenewbie Apparently it's a thing against etiquette. Everyone thought I was money and gift grubbing as well as tag chasing and doing a contract marriage for the benefits. All not true.
